Way too dry and a bit bland. Recipe needs adjustments.

I added garlic to the onions and sauteed them in olive oil before I added the pesto. I also added crushed red pepper in addition to salt and pepper. I can't eat dairy so no cheese. First few bites I thought it was meh, but I've just filled my bowl again. It is very yummy and I will likely make it again!

This was a super simple recipe. I used the Trader Joe's pesto in the jar, and added cherry tomatoes and basil tomato chicken sausage. It was delicious and took about 20 mins total. I will make this again!!

I think we could have this 8 or 9 days a week! I added some green & red bell peppers with the onion. For those who found this dry, save a half a cup or so of your pasta water before you drain the pasta. Then add it back in a little at a time until it's moist enough. Something about the starchy water does the trick.

I had never cooked with pesto before, so I wanted to do something easy, plus I was looking for a side dish for tilapia (another new menu item). This worked out great! Thanks.

Doubled the pesto as suggested and added ready crisp bacon and a little bit of red pepper flakes. Awesome!

This was horribly delicious. I cried in joy for so long after eating my awesome pasta. I also put minced onions in my sauce. It tasted about a trillion times better!

I made this yesterday and I found that it was not all that flavorful. Like other commentators have said, we added more pesto, and we also added a few garlic cloves. However, the finished result, while appetizing in appearance, was a bit bland. When we sprinkled some garlic salt on top, however, it definitely improved it. I'll probably make this again, but next time with more garlic, more basil, and garlic salt instead of regular salt.

Giving this 4 stars, because I added quite a bit to it based on suggestions. We LOVED the way it turned out - I give the final product 5 stars. I cut up some chicken and marinated it in italian dressing, then cooked it with the onions. Then added the garlic. While the pasta was cooking (I used wheat linguine), I added half of an 8 oz. jar of pesto, as well as chopped black olives and sliced sundried tomatoes. Tossed with the linguine and parmesan and it was delicious.
